Sadly I've slacken in my book reading for the last few years (apart from schoolbooks) but am aiming to read more in the next few months. But currently I'm half way through Islamists and Naivists by Karen Jespersen and Ralf Pittelkow. It's about Islamic influences in Europe. I've already read a similar book, called Men størst av alt er friheten by Hege Storhaug. Although these books are decent and informative the authors are missing the big picture in relation to the immigrant problem in Europe because they only focus on muslims.

I just started [B]Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar...Understanding Philosophy through Jokes[B] It gives a pretty straight forward and fairly easy understanding of basic philosophical concepts, good for anyone who is new or hasn't touched on the topic in a while.

Apparently there is,or was,a lot more to them then just Thermopylae.
As a descendant of this line and a atheist,it is very strange to look back and see how religious they were,and how this effected their lives and history.
